Diploma candidates are required to select one subject from each of the six subject groups. Three courses are taken at higher level (HL), three courses are taken at standard level (SL). However, instead of a Group 6 subject (Arts), a candidate may select any additional subject from groups 2 to 4, or computer science from group 5.
HL courses represent a recommended 240 teaching hours over the two-year diploma programme, SL courses 150 hours.
The IB pattern is a deliberate compromise between the early specialisation preferred in some national systems and the greater breadth found in others. In each area of the curriculum, care is taken to foster active citizenship and global perspectives. Distribution requirements ensure that the science-oriented student is challenged to study modern languages and that the natural linguist becomes familiar with laboratory procedures.
For a detailed description of the individual courses offered please see the IB Course Guide (PDF).
